A GAA museum proposed for Kerry is set to be developed in Killarney after planning permission was granted for the sporting and cultural facility at Fitzgerald’s Stadium.

Some €3 million will be needed to build the Kerry Cultural and Sporting Experience facility, which is expected to be up and running by 2014.

Local councillor and former Kerry footballer Michael Gleeson, who is part of the museum committee, said Kerry literature and music would form part of the displays.

Fáilte Ireland funding will be crucial to the project, president of the local chamber of commerce Mike Buckley said.
